PAYING ATTENTION


I have a problem Paying attention in class. This is a problem like laughing and talking with friends and not being organized. Paying Attention is a problem for lots of people.
Focusing goes back to paying attention. Listing to your teacher will be a good thing to do. Even if your friends are telling you to make funny noises or being distracted just ignored them and talk to them at the end of class.Another thing that comes back with paying attention is daydreaming.(This sentence is a good transition and should really begin the next paragraph.)
Daydreaming is the ones of the worse things about paying attention because you would of never pay attention and you wouldn't listen to your teacher. If I would pay more attention I would have better grades and getting my homework better. (Do not use "you'.)
One solution that i came up with is asking the teacher to move places.Another good idea is sitting in a corner where your friends won't talk to you. (Explain how these solutions would help.)
I had many ideas but my favorite is ignored your friends till the class is over. Or put boy and girl for them the girls or boys not to talk. (???)

I wish you would follow your own advice, Renata!
